Electric lever

An electric lever device, comprising:

• an operation lever including a handgrip held by an operator on one end and a rotational center shaft of the operation lever formed on the other end;
• a detecting unit for detecting a rotation amount of the rotational center shaft;
• and
• a holding unit for fixing the operation lever to prevent return,
• the detecting unit and the holding unit being arranged on a surface perpendicular to an attaching surface of the electric lever device and a surface perpendicular to the rotational center shaft of the operation lever, wherein
• a detent mechanism is provided between the rotational center shaft and the handgrip,
• the detent mechanism includes:
• a pressing mechanism provided operation for generating pressing force in an axial direction of the rotational center shaft;
• and
• a detent guide mechanism that guides a movement of the operation lever to a circumferential direction of the rotational center shaft, and increasing the pressing force in a stepwise fashion by narrowing a guide width in axis direction of the rotational center shaft in a stepwise fashion in order to apply a load to the movement of the operation lever.
